I’m happy to hear that you ordered the book. Kenneth Pitchford is another unsung hero. While some of the ideas of the radical effeminists were untenable what they attempted to do was courageous. John Lennon’s decision to let Yoko take care of the business while he raised Sean was influenced by the radical effeminist movement.

Lennon wrote a couple of songs that were directly influenced by effeminist movement and his most powerful post-Beatles music is a result of the effeminist idea that men need to let themselves feel and understand their emotions and the sexism that they internalize as a result of social conditioning.

Intellectually, Lennon evolved from “I’d rather see you dead, little girl than to see you with another man” to “I didn’t mean to hurt you, I’m sorry that I made you cry.”

Lennon is an excellent example of a working class man who learned how to use his mind by learning how to question himself.
